Services selection based on trust evolution and union for cloud computing by HU Chun-hua1, LIU Ji-bo1, LIU Jian-xun3

“…It was difficult for the service consumers to obtain high-quality composite services because of the existence of false or malicious service nodes in cloud computing environment.A novel cloud service-composition method based on the trust span tree was proposed.The trust relationship could be built after many times credible interaction between ser-vices requester and provider,and the trust union would be formed through the credible relationship evolution.So that the uncertain or malicious service should be excluded from the trust span tree,and the service composition would be carried out in a trust environment.At the same time,the measuring strategy of trust relationship among cloud services based on information entropy was designed,which could resolve the deficiencies of the trust parameter analysed by simply weighted angle in the previous studies.The experimental result shows that the method proposed in this paper is more su-perior in credibility and security,comparing to the traditional services selection methods.…”

Credible distributed identity authentication system of microgrid based on blockchain by Guanqun YANG, Yin LIU, Hao XU, Hongwei XING, Jianhui ZHANG, Entang LI

“…Most of the blockchain-based identity authentication systems are based on public blockchain, which are still essentially traditional centralized identity management and verification methods, making it difficult to meet the needs of trusted access and fine-grained access control in microgrids.Therefore, based on the FISCO BCOS consortium blockchain technology, a distributed identity authentication system supporting multi-center was designed.A DID-based identity management protocol to achieve autonomous control of user identity in a practical scenarios was designed.Distributed trusted access technology for end nodes in microgrids was studied, and privacy-protecting credentials based on zero-knowledge proof were designed.This scheme meets the requirements of trustworthy and verifiable user identity in different privacy security scenarios, and achieves autonomous control of entity identity, fine-grained access control and trusted data exchange.The usability and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm are demonstrated through system experiments and performance analysis.…”

Network function heterogeneous redundancy deployment method based on immune algorithm by Qingqing ZHANG, Hongbo TANG, Wei YOU, Yingle LI

“…Aiming at the problem that the existing security defense methods cannot resist many unknown vulnerabilities and backdoors in the network function virtualization platform, a mimic defense architecture for network function virtualization using mimic defense ideas was proposed, a heterogeneous redundant deployment method based on an immune algorithm for the construction of heterogeneous pools was proposed.Firstly, the degree of heterogeneity between heterogeneous entities was quantitatively evaluated in combination with the entropy value method, then the network function heterogeneous redundant deployment problem was constructed into a minimax problem with the optimization goal of maximizing the degree of heterogeneity between heterogeneous entities, and finally the immune algorithm was used to quickly solve the optimal deployment solution of network functions.Simulation results show that the proposed method can quickly converge to an optimal deployment scheme and ensure that the overall distribution of heterogeneity between heterogeneous bodies is at a high level, effectively increasing the diversity between heterogeneous bodies and improving the attacker's difficulty.…”

Satellite remote sensing and the integration of 6G communication and remote sensing by Wenjia XU, Yixu WANG, Mugen PENG

“…Satellite remote sensing is an important means for humans to achieve high-resolution earth observation, and it has gradually become an important component supporting economic and social development as well as national defense and security.6G pursues deep integration of communication, perception, and computation, and communication and remote sensing integration has become an important feature of it.The development of satellite remote sensing at home and abroad were reviewed, the existing system architecture of satellite remote sensing systems and the integrated system architecture of communication and remote sensing in the 6G era were outlined, and the typical satellite remote sensing technologies and the latest research progress driven by artificial intelligence were elaborated on.In response to the trend of integrating satellite communication and remote sensing in the 6G era, the technical challenges and development trends of realizing the combination of “one satellite, multiple uses, multi-satellite networking, multi-network integration, and intelligent services” were discussed.…”
